    I’m not looking to fix others problems
    You asked why people aren’t running to live in e y
    I am answering, it’s no different today then it’s been since the churban.
    You claim it’s a Jewish state
    To that I am responding it’s as Jewish as bagels and lox.
    Aka Jewish in name only. A meaningless moniker.
    It’s anti religious in the fullest sense.
    And I’m not so sure about your comparison to achav

    Jackk,
    As an objective logical position you are absolutely correct.
    However you need to back up your statement with specifics
    For example
    Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
    Whether you are nituray karta or ardent Zionist, that is clearly in trumps mind an unnecessary, and very pro Jewish move.
    Same for recognizing the Golan as part of Israel proper.
    Or Cutting off aid to Palestinian monsters, or mobsters .
    Because no matter how morally correct you want to claim these acts are, no other president did them, and all got away with it. If he had no affinity for the Jews he could have easily continued that pattern.

    His commuting the sentences of rubashkin and yesterday, I personally don’t think it proves it because they are individuals and presidents routinely do such things, but they definitely bolster the narrative.

    How about you list a few examples of his
    “insults, attacks and denigrates multiple black people multiple times”
    So we can see if In truth he is a racist

    Donald Trump clearly does things favorable to the Jews while not shying away from infuriating the Arabs.
    He is not known as a lover of blacks, and he clearly is starting up with south Americans.
    To say it’s all part of some huge psychological game where he is doing exactly the opposite of his desires and really he hates Jews and it’s all some grand scheme, is firstly beyond normal belief, requires a pre-conceived belief that he “hates Jews don’t mix me up with facts ”
    And secondly would mean if is some sort of genius and great actor! Exactly the opposite of what those same people claim that he is a stupid loose canon.
    So trump haters, take your pick
    Is he a genius Jew hater?
    Or perhaps he really is a Jew lover and he is exactly what he seems to be
    Average intelligent shoot from the hip ball it like he sees it and a Jew lover

    Thank-you for reiterating my point
    However as I mentioned, the question of whether everyone should move to א”י is an old question. Nobody that you can bring can prove anything because there are plenty of equally strong opinions on the other side.

    Thank you for putting that out.
    I never understood why it’s not more clearly out there.
    All the talk recently about the government mandating the daily schedule and people responding that since they take government money they need to listen.
    I was always thinking, what money?? They are not getting “money “they are having forced tasks and services, paid for by those who force them to do it. And probably underpaid too.
    Thanks for putting it out so clearly

    Under plans published Thursday in coordination with the Transport, National Infrastructures and Road Safety Ministry, the municipality will grant licenses for 24 new shared taxi routes to operate in the city on Shabbat. While bus companies are not permitted to run services in Tel Aviv on that day, shared taxi routes are not affected by similar prohibitions.

    A day trip to Masada and the Dead Sea is not a bad idea to do on Saturday. Our National Parks are open on the Jewish Sabbath.

    Please don’t get me wrong
    I’m not saying don’t live there.
    I’m saying that obviously Israel today is not anything like what א”י should be. It is no different today than 200 years ago as far as its “Jewish ownership ”
    If you want to say, it’s much easier to survive there now than it was back when, so therefore everyone should live here, that’s getting involved in the ג שבועות
    וכבר דשו ביה רבים and I have nothing to add
    But to say now “we ” control א”י -אתחלת דגאולה is just foolish.

    OK so the grocery on my corner is a Jewish grocery. Now what
    Who cares. When Michael Bloomberg was mayor of new York did that make New York a Jewish city???
    The only reason to push to live in Israel is if it’s ארץ ישראל.
    Why should I care if a random place has a Jewish government?
    That’s not a reason to leave my current abode.

    All the more so when it’s an anti religious government.
    Stalin was also a Jew. Or Lenin. Whichever. May they both rot together.

    I held back for a long time because I don’t really believe you will answer seriously
    Is a avigdor liberman your idea of a Jewish state?
    Is municipal חילול שבת across the country your idea of גאולה?
    Are gay parades your idea of a nation בתיקונו ?

    Are you so blind as to not see the spiritual decimation taking place in front of your face and you sit there and do nothing to stop it??

    Why should a yid run to see all the חורבן being perpetrated ר”ל to ארצינו הקודש
    , מכם בכם??!!??

    It’s not a simple thing to move to א”י and watch public trampling of תורתינו הקדושה.
    Bumper stickers proudly declaring חילול שבת
    Mayors of cities openly declaring war on הקב”ה

    Are you not aware of all that is going on???
    It’s a total חורבן
    That is the Zionist utopia.
    That is enough reason.

    May we all be זוכה to move to א”י בתיקונו. בקרוב.

    I am not coming ח”ו to say bad about ארצינו הקודש.
    But unfortunately the land is under the control of רשעים גמורים that it’s a מצוה to publicize and insult.
    And I’m not even getting into the tremendous amount of people who fall into a grey area, or the question of the army that we are all aware is just a loaded topic.
    There is enough that is impossible to justify one need not even deal with the grey.

    When you will explain how all this takes place in א”י בגאולתו then I’ll be more than happy to discuss the ג שבועות

    A few questions for you.
    Mods I hope you will let these questions through, they are not so heavy
    😁
    Are you in New York?
    Are you always female or just today?
    How often do you switch?
    Are you black and female? Or black or female?
    Are you a black Muslim female?
    Does the Muslim in together with the female or are they like separate gears and can be changed individually?
    I only ask because I am thinking of doing it myself and I need some guidance
    Can I switch my gender to be rich ?
    Will that help me get a mortgage?
    Why can I only switch my gender? Why can’t I switch yours? Yesterday I felt that my neighbor was a recliner.
    I sat on it and they called the cops.
    I told the cops I self identify as a free person. So they were not going to lock me up, but one of the cops told me that it identifies me as a suspect
    I told it that I identify it as a fraud.
    We agreed that I will stand for the next 24 hours as punishment for sitting on my neighbor and the cops left.
    I readjusted my directional compass and promptly stood up across my bed.
    I just want to know if I made any judgment errors

    Neville I just went back to the Rambam.
    Besides what I wrote before, the Rambam is putting arayos in the side of between man and God, saying it is missing the component of destroying civilization.
    You sure you want to put rape in that category?
    That would make you a greater outlier than me, as you’d be claiming rape has no “בין אדם לחבירו ” component!!!

    To ubiq I’d ask based on that Rambam,

    You like the Rambam so let’s see what he says
    הלכות איסורי ביאה יב-ז ”עון זה אע”פ שאין בו מיתת ב”ד אל יהי קל בעיניך….
    פרק יב-יג אל יהי עוון זה קל בעיניך מפני שאין בו מלקות מן התורה שגם…
    Now I ask you
    What is he worried about?
    Why would I think it’s not a serious offense?
    The answer is clear, to me at least , from his words.
    Because it’s missing the punishment you may think it’s not so serious. So the Rambam needs to tell you that even so,
    it is serious.
    And that’s the secret of all the exceptions you may find.
    The rule, as seen from this Rambam and other places, is that the severity of the crime can be seen from its punishment. Of course there are exceptions. But you or I can’t be the one to decide that.
    If the Rambam were to say rape is the most serious crime, I’d have to agree with him (unless of course other ראשונים argued on him)
    But he doesn’t.
    In the Rambam you brought, he has a whole list of crimes and he neglects to bring rape!
    Yes it can be included in some of the general ones he listed, but so can many others, and you can’t prove it belongs there.

    your looking (you keep asking) in which case does the victim feel worse. im saying that doesnt equate with the perpetrator having done an objectively worse crime. im discussing from the perpetrators position. so yes if its an act whose consequences are limited to monetary then thats how you judge it
    whats worse ? ruining a classic art painting? or burning down an old barn of the same value?
    they are both the same

    2) its bad from a midos perspective (nogea at least for a yid ) and its a violation of personal property rights

    3)i dont know the magic number but i dont consider the first 2 of these examples to even be exceptions
    the third is no different then calling a molester a rodef so im not sure why even you would consider that an exception

    4)he was a king. it was for midos
    in din they are the same
    5) its a limud מאי חזית דדמא דידך סומק מדמא דחברך

    Your jumbling.
    Molech is clearly spoken about, I was waiting for it to be brought up. It’s asked as a open question “how can it be that one and he gets killed but more not “?
    According to you what’s the question. There is no clear rational to a punishment scale
    The premise of the whole question is predicated on my contention.
    Since the severity of the punishment indicates the severity of the crime, how can it be that one kid and he gets killed and more he goes free? How can more kids equal a less severe offense.
    To which a chiddush is revealed that in this case it’s so heinous that no earthly punishment suffices.

    (according to your logic, raping a divorced girl is worse than raping a married woman because by the married Woman you get killed but here nothing?)

    I don’t know the Rambam you are referring to but from the context I’d imagine he means you can kill him right then to stop the act.
    That’s not a punishment. So you can’t bring a proof from that. It’s more like בא במחתרת
    Which does apply in some cases of stealing.

    Orchodosh

    Those are payments that every mazik of another person must deal with
    They have nothing to do with rape
    They apply to it just like they apply if I give someone a black eye
    Which is more to my point. The Torah views the rape like any other person to person hezek
    You Pay what you damaged
    If you do it to a girl who for whatever reason is not bothered by it (I’m discussing hypothetical don’t get sidetracked by telling me it’s not possible) you would not have to pay those payments.
    If that same hypothetical girl was married though, yet would get killed even though she doesn’t mind

    Ergo it’s worse to rape a married woman than a single one.
    Happens to be over there the issue also isn’t the coercion factor. It’s the fact that she is married.

    Does it? How sure are you the severity there is against man vs Hashem
    (talking about the Gemmara in סנהדרין )
    One of the גמרות is trying to figure out the parameters of being חייב מכה אביו
    It doesn’t like one approach because it would come out that it carries a less severe punishment than killing a random person and that can’t be because killing a father must be a worse מיתה because it’s a worse חטא

    You are obviously factually correct in your first example. However that is only על פי סוד. When dealing with it on a practical level it’s a מחלוקת if you take that into account.
    (when someone is forced to choose between that and an illicit relationship)

    As far as your second example, it’s simply because of it being אבוזריהו דגילוי עריות which has the same dinim as ג”ע for this פרט

    See? Critical thinking, at first you didn’t seem to acknowledge this.
    Are you so sure rape isn’t similar?

    No. Actually I acknowledged it right away and I responded to it.
    It would be difficult to put rape there as the Torah bleary discusses it and does not say you kill someone for it. But if the results matched up with molestation, then your correct I can’t say we wouldn’t kill. But as I said before. The same would go for purse snatching.
    If every victim or many even, committed suicide, it would probably also become a capital offense.
    It’s not specific to rape.

    חילול שבת is worse than murder.
    The Gemmara says it goes by the type of death penalty.
    It’s splits different kind of עריות as well.

    What your missing is clarity and definition to the word “bad ”
    It’s an ambiguous word
    I am using it in a clinical legal way.
    You seemingly are using it in an emotional context.
    A court does not belong meting out punishment based on their feelings.
    That’s what we know of as אין עונשין אלא אם כן מזהירים or in sports lingo, you can’t change the rules mid game.
    The idea of התראה is that a person can only get punished, when they undertook to do the crime knowing they will get the specific punishment. That’s why if you warn them they will get a light punishment and it is an error, you cannot give the correct severe one. Therefore the Torah lays out specific guidelines as to what punishment each crime gets. Rape of a single girl gets שקל 50 and married to her for life.
    Consensual with a married lady gets death.
    Which would you say is “badder “?
    Of a divorced girl there is no clearly spoken punishment .
    Should we say that’s because it’s worse than the other two so it’s so bad there is no earthly punishment?
    I can’t figure out that logic.
    That’s why I chose to say, if an unmarried girl carries a clearly defined punishment, and a married woman is clearly a worse punishment, and a single divorced girl has nothing written, it’s probably because it’s not as bad.
    Just logic
    You want a source for the judging of the severity of a crime by the punishment?
    Start with the Gemmara that asks which is worse, ע”ז ג”ע ושפיחת דמים or שנאת חינם ?
    To which the Gemmara responds
    בירה תוכיח שחזר לראשונים ולא חזר לאחרונים

    There are plenty of other Gemmaras, as I said all over סנהדרין .

    עירובין דף ק – “צניעות מחתול” – על משמעותו של מוסר טבעי

    הגמרא בדף ק עמוד ב עוסקת בעניינים שונים הנוגעים לחיי אישות, ואף עומדת על ההבדלים שבין גברים לנשים. בהמשך לעיסוק זה, מזכירה הגמרא מימרה מוסרית ידועה:

    “אמר רבי יוחנן: אילמלא לא ניתנה תורה היינו למידין צניעות מחתול, וגזל מנמלה, ועריות מיונה”.
    בביאורה של מימרה זו, מצאנו שתי גישות עקרוניות, אשר תהום של ממש כרויה ביניהן. הגישה האחת מיוחסת באחרונים לגר”ח מבריסק. כך, למשל, נוסחו הדברים בשו”ת משנה הלכות (חלק טז סימן קכד):

    “זכר מה שאמר הגר”ח מבריסק זי”ע, שאפילו דאיתא בגמרא עירובין: “אילמלא נתנה תורה היינו למדין צניעות מחתול וגזל מנמלה” – כל זה רק לפני מתן תורה, אבל משנתנה תורה אין לנו שיור רק התורה הזאת, ואין ללמוד דבר מבעלי חיים בפרט טמאים ומאוסים כאלה”.
    הגר”ח לומד את הגמרא כפשוטה: אם לא היתה ניתנת תורה, ניתן היה ללמוד דרכי מוסר מבעלי החיים. אך היות שזכינו וניתנה לנו תורה בסיני, שוב אין כל צורך להתבונן בבריאה, וכל עסקנו אינו אלא בתורה.

    ניתן לעמוד על קשר בין דברים אלה של הגר”ח מבריסק, ובין שיטתו העקרונית של סבו הגדול, הגר”ח מוולוז’ין, בעל “נפש החיים”. לדברי זה האחרון (נפש החיים, סוף שער א), קודם מתן תורה היה מקום לעבודת ה’ אישית, הנובעת מהשגת המושכלות, ומתפיסתו המוסרית והערכית של כל אדם באשר הוא. אך לאחר שניתנה תורה, כל תובנה אנושית, ואפילו תובנה של קדושה, בטילה ומבוטלת, ואין לנו שיור רק התורה הזאת.

    לעומת הרבנים לבית וולוז’ין-בריסק, היו שפירשו את הגמרא באופן הפוך: אמנם ניתנה תורה, אך עדיין יש מקום להתבונן בבריאה, וללמוד ממנה דרכי מוסר. כך, למשל, כתב רבינו בחיי בספרו “חובות הלבבות” (שער הבחינה, פרק ב):

    “כי הבחינה בברואים והבאת ראיה מהם לחכמת הבורא יתברך – אנו חייבין בה מן המושכל, מן הכתוב ומן הקבלה … ואמרו: אלמלא נתנה תורה לישראל, למדנו צניעות מחתול ועריות מיונה ודרך ארץ מתרנגול וגזל מנמלה. וכבר התבאר חיוב הבחינה בברואים והבאת הראיות מסימני החכמה”.
    בניסוח קצר וחד אף יותר הובאו הדברים גם במשך חכמה (פרשת משפטים):

    “ואתנה לך את לוחות האבן והתורה והמצוה אשר כתבתי להורותם” … לכן אמר “אשר כתבתי” – בספר הטבע אשר יצרתי, שזה ספר של השם יתברך היוצרה”.
    עולם הטבע הוא מעין ספר תורה נוסף שהוענק לכל באי עולם, ואין ספק שעליהם ללמוד ממנו.

    גם מורנו הרב עמיטל ז”ל דגל בעמדה זו. את דברי הגמרא שלפנינו הוא הביא בפתח הפרק העוסק ב”מוסר טבעי” בספרו “והארץ נתן לבני אדם”, והוא מבהיר:

    “הקב”ה ברא את האדם בצלם א-להים, וחנן אותו ברגישות מוסרית ומצפונית – מוסר טבעי. רגישות זו מאפיינת את האדם מאז בריאת העולם, גם כשלא נבעה מתוך ציווי א-לוהי ישיר … כך עולה מדברי הגמרא בעירובין “אלמלא לא ניתנה תורה היינו למידין צניעות מחתול” … גם לאחר שניתנה תורה, לא ייתכן שהתורה תחייב פחות מאותה תביעה מוסרית”.
    כאמור, שתי הגישות מביאות סימוכין מן הגמרא, והפער ביניהן מעמידנו בפני שאלה ערכית, מוסרית, רעיונית ורוחנית מן המדריגה הראשונה.

    You went off topic there
    We are discussing rape
    The Gemmara discusses it being done in the presence of witnesses who warn him
    Yes there are dinim for it being done with witnesses

    It’s not assumption. The Gemmara in many places in סנהדרין when discussing the different עונשים for various crimes, clearly states that the more severe crime carries the more severe punishment.

    Ubiq as I just wrote, it’s not an assumption.
    Answer to #2 making him into a Zionist is worse (I don’t know if today’s “Zionists ” count) as חזל clearly state גדול המחטיאו יותר מן ההרגו
    So why is there no punishment you will ask?
    Great question.
    I will offer a few possible answers.
    1) the שו”ע says you can’t be מחלל שבת to save someone from שמד there is a huge סוגיא there discussing this very question. Look there. It’s probably the same (if I remember correctly one way out was that a person can always do תשובה so מחטיאו is not final whereas if you kill him it’s over)
    2) you can’t give התראה as there is no actual time of “making him a Zionist ” as opposed to the moment he pulls the trigger.
    3) who says there is no punishment ?? Much as we saw before, a list of גדולי פוסקי זמננו who say a molester is a רודף due to the ultimate outcome, who says we would not give סקילה to the Zionist maker based on מסית ומדיח ?? In which case he is getting a worse punishment as killing gets הרג which is less severe than סקילה

    No I categorically do not agree it is among the worst things a human can do to another. As evidenced by the lack of severe punishment, and the requirement to marry the victim.

    I happen not to understand it. But I think that that is my short coming
    I think it’s pretty clear from the dinim how Hashem views it.
    I don’t have to like it nor understand it, OK maybe I should try to understand it because it’s Part of Torah but my lack of understanding doesn’t change the truth. It just makes me also impacted by western ideology

    Phil
    You definitely Took a vehement and nastily worded stand in diametric opposition to my position.
    Having said that
    That’s why I asked you to answer the question irrespective of the entire discussion
    To preempt the answer you gave
    But it seems you don’t have the intellectual honesty to attend to answer it so you obfuscate..
    Oh well
    I’ll enjoy the discussion with those who are more open and honest
    Feel free to rejoin any time

    the brisker rav says
    on the statement “if we would not have the torah we would learn … from the …
    “but now that we do have the torah we do not do things because of our understanding
    we only do what the torah says we dont learn it on our own”
    same with that rashi.which btw does not say what you claim at all
    it says were they not commanded they are worthy that they should be commanded
    in other words as opposed to chukim which are not understandable, these are.
    nowhere indicating that we would be chayav without the torah commanding us.
    thats why i like chapter and verse so i can look it up!

    end quote

    really?????

    here is my original comment from the question on this thread
    quote
    As a test, I’ll repeat a question I asked a while ago on a different thread, which got no answer there.
    What should be the punishment for someone who is מאנס a woman who was previously married and is now divorced

    now with a break put in cause you obviously missed it

    As a test, I’ll repeat a question I asked a while ago on a different thread, which got no answer there.
    What should be the*************** punishment **************for someone who is מאנס a woman who was previously married and is now divorced

    not sure what is unclear about that
    thats why i like chapter and verse

    im still waiting for the gemorah you quoted which im not familiar with
    and mareh mekomos from your rav

    Are you not aware that “som tasim aleicha melech” is a mitzvah? I don’t understand why you dismiss this so quickly
    because of the passuk before it
    אשימה עלי מלך**** ככל הגויים ****אשר סביבותי
    and look at the haftarah of korach we just lained where shemuel tells the yiddin how bad it is that they asked for a king
    (yes the ramban says its a mitzvah to ask ****just like maakeh)

    phil you just went nasty for no reason
    but ill answer you anyway
    the torah enjoyns us not to act out upon our emotions
    we are not forbidden from having them
    additionally look at the story of dina
    the emotion is correct in its anger in certain cases
    i am discussing punishment
    see above

    I keep going back to punishment because that was my original question.
    I never claimed these are “good ” activities.
    I am saying that one can see how the Torah views the severity of the bad deed from the proscribed punishment. (usually).

    Next
    “Having gone to a mainstream yeshiva, you must have encountered the chazal that there are mitzvos known to man without the Torah. It’s a gemara, Rashi brings it in Chumash. Are you familiar with this? Do you need chapter and verse.?”
    Mitzvos ? No I’m not familiar with it. Help me out.
    Middos yes.
    So is it wrong for a non Jew to do such a thing? Of course. Just like its wrong for him to spit in someone’s face.
    That’s why I keep going back to the question of punishment, and perhaps why you keep jumping back to “is it wrong ” cause that’s an easy answer. But I never asked that. I’m not discussing that cause I agree.

    Phil, yes I know. You’ll notice though that you are only able to bring from the last generation or so. Do you really believe that In the history of our nation there were no molesters until 1945?
    So where is all the responsa about it?
    The answer is, that even they are not making a new classification called molesters. They are stating the current fact. In today’s World a molested child has a high rate of suicide….. Therefore a molester is a rodef. Were it to be true that a victim of a home invasion were to have the same reactions, then they would also be a rodef (besides “ba bamachteres where applicable) it’s not special to a molester.

    Rockstar, I don’t believe you can punish a one time molester based On the fact that he will probably become a repeat offender. I think unfortunately one would need to wait before acting against him as a repeat offender. (that’s just my opinion nothing to back it up)
    As far as a king, absolutely but remember for most of our history we haven’t had a king and it is actually looked down upon us when we asked for one. So that can’t really be the utopian ideal of taking care of issues.

    Phil no I’d imagine a person in that situation would be aghast. That doesn’t mean I could kill the guy. Much as I’d imagine anyone in such a position would want to.

    Grey matter, I never said any such thing. The Gemmara specifically discusses all those things why would I be so stupid as to say otherwise. I spoke about the punishment.
    But the Torah would not allow it.
    (don’t get into punishment as a deterrent, half the posters opposing me here vehemently disagree with such corrupt thought. I happen to agree)
